Long story short me and my grandfather (whom I call Poppie) are very close. Poppie lives in East Brunswick, and has for the great majority of conscious life. My relation to Poppie comes from my mom’s side of the family; Poppie is my mom’s father. My mom passed away when I was nine years old, so suffice it to say, me and Poppie consequently have a somewhat unique relationship. I talk about just about everything with Poppie, however for whatever reason our conversations have a way of becoming…

Gardner.Session1.Journal As I reflect on the past as to why I want to go back to college, I remember sitting in my Director’s office at work, talking to her about our department, and the increasing number of assignments she is being handed down. I remember her telling me that she was going to need help with the department if she was going to be expected to do all of her work, plus the other work load being added. I left out of her office to get ready to leave my shift, thinking about what she…

The death of Buck causes several problems in their relationships, turning them into a highly dysfunctional family that constantly struggles to get along. Throughout the film, Beth, Calvin and Conrad engage in acts of “silence or violence,” barely attempting to address most of their problems, which could have been fixed using conflict management skills…

I Believe That People Can Change Us “Don’t be so scared, let’s go”, he said. One day we all find a person that comes to ours life, and changes it. That person moves us to the next level in life. He or she bring new colors to our life and make us happy. The best memories are with that person and we always remember about them. One day I got a message from an unknown guy. His message was calm and with some secret. When I read it, a smile appeared on my face. I never answered to…

“Uh, um” that is how I commonly end up when I talk to new people. I often use different tone and language when talking to a distinct type of person. My words vary, I may get stumbled up, or even make snarly comments. All of that depends on the type of person I talk to. I talk separately to my friends, through text, new people, my father, and my family. The first group of people is my friends. When I am with my friends, I am usually free and do not feel constrained. I often joke a great deal and…

When talking about inequality there are many things that contribute to this issue. I would argue that the central mechanism that perpetrates inequality is stereotypes. There are many different types of them and so I think it is important to talk about most of them. Without stereotypes I would argue that we wouldn’t have to worry about inequality in society because no one would be judging other and we wouldn’t have people who think that they are better then others or have more resources then…

experienced was the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Her generation may all bond over that experience because they were alive when it occurred. This theory of a personality life narrative is that individuals form an identity by putting their life experiences into an internalized, story of themselves. This provides the person with a sense of unity and purpose in life. A life narrative reflects on their reconstructed past, present time and imagined future. It tends to seem like a story. This…

The Second RER I decided to take was to attend a special event. The Event I went to was Prof. Greg Walton 's colloquium talk. When I went on wednesday, march 26 we were having some trouble broadcasting the live talk. The teacher eventually decided that the best course of action to do was to get everyone 's last four digits of their school ID and she then sent us home. Those who wrote their name and placed their last four digits got an email that contained the the link to the recording of Prof.…

Like our textbook suggested, the communication culture at the plant was multifaceted and multilayered. It was different for each shift. It was different for each level of management, i.e. production versus plant. This was evident in the way employees behave around each other. The supervisors did not seem to want to dedicate time to listen so people didn’t really speak. The second shift supervisor, because he was willing to listen, had people talking even when it wasn’t asked for. Around the…
